Product Review...Flower Soft

Have you seen some of our Bread Basket gals using something that looks like this?

Do you see it? Those raised, colored specks on the vine are a product called FLOWER SOFT and they add a wonderful amount of dimension and floral realism to your card. What's even better is that they are so simple to use and below is a quick how-to.

I trimmed the Flower Soft card topper to allow it to fit in a 6" square card.

Before you start applying theFlower Soft, grab a couple pinches of it and "fluff" it up in the jar's lid. It is tightly compacted in the container so you'll want to roll it around between your fingers to separate them.

Working in small sections at a time to prevent the ultra thick glue from drying, apply directly onto the floral parts of the frame. The glue dries clear so need to worry!

Sprinkle the Flower Soft on and lightly press them down onto the glued sections. Tap off excess.

Continue working in sections until you've applied it on all the floral images.

Here is the end result - a beautiful frame with dimensional flowers for your scripture or image!

You'll also find paper wired stems to make bouquets and bunches as well and here's a quick tutorial!

Cut a small piece of wire, fluff up some Flower Soft and grab your glue.

Apply glue to the wire.

Dip the wire into the Flower Soft and twirl it around to get good coverage.

Repeat this for however many floral stems you'd like in your bouquet and add it to your card.

Pick up several colors of Flower Soft and coordinating supplies today. Once you've tried this product you'll find any excuse to use it on all your cards. You can blame us because we are definetly hooked on them!! Happy crafting!
